England international Henry Slade undergoes surgery following the broken leg that he suffered while in action for the Exeter Chiefs.

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has confirmed that Henry Slade will undergo an operation on his suspected broken leg.

The England international sustained the injury during yesterday's 41-27 victory over Wasps.

Although no official confirmation has been made as to the severity of the complaint, Baxter has revealed that surgery was the only option.

"Henry has an injury to the lower part of his right leg and it is envisaged he will operated on sometime today (Sunday)," Baxter told the club's official website.

"At the moment we have set no timescale on how long he will be sidelined for. A more detailed assessment will be made following the operation."

It is expected that Slade will now miss the Six Nations, which get underway in February.
